In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

At the same time, the lower abdomen is also lifted.

Her thighs twitched slightly beneath the voluminous skirt.

The close proximity of them at that moment made the girl blush even more, but she still couldn't help but put on a mischievous expression.

She blinked her light blue eyes.

Feeling the slight throbbing in my chest.

“I’m not stupid.” She stubbornly tilted her head back: “Hasn’t Your Majesty noticed?”

"I am--"

"on purpose!"

To fall down 'intentionally'.

She deliberately bumped into his arms.

'Intentionally'...

"You must take responsibility for me!" the youngest princess of the empire declared emphatically.

Chapter Eighteen: Memoirs

At this moment, in the courtyard outside the library, the branches and leaves swayed gently in the warm breeze of midday, making a rustling sound. At this moment, the girl's clear voice floated in Lu Kang's ears, making him pause in surprise.

He stared blankly at the princess's face, which had suddenly approached, and at her blushing yet deliberately stubborn expression.

And the cunning and regret hidden in her eyes—

sorry.

The moment the words left her mouth, Princess Anastasia regretted them.

Because she felt the sudden change in Lu Kang's gaze as he looked at her. His eyes suddenly became very hot, so hot that they seemed to melt a person... The princess also felt that she was about to melt into them.

But her regret wasn't fear.

Not fear.

She felt nothing but shame, an unparalleled shame—what was she doing? It was as if she had drunk two glasses of fake alcohol and, under the influence, had done something she had always wanted to do but never dared to, only to regret it later.

But what's the use of regretting it now that things have come to this?

But since she had already said it, the princess was unwilling to admit defeat—she convinced herself that it was just a prank. Although every time she tried to trick Lu Kang, it always ended in failure, she never felt inferior, but only tried again!

That's how it used to be.

This must be the case now!

Despite feeling extremely embarrassed, Anastasia forced herself to hold the boy's neck even tighter and more firmly. She lifted her chest and legs even higher, completely shrinking her slender body, which appeared exceptionally delicate compared to Bilukang, into his embrace.

She felt ashamed.

He certainly is.

That's what Her Highness the Princess thinks.

So if you can make him feel embarrassed first, then you've won...

That's what Her Highness the Princess thinks.

Unfortunately--

She underestimated Lu Kang's shamelessness.

Seeing the cunning and regret in the princess's eyes, you realize this was a prank she played on impulse. Now she regrets it, but she can only grit her teeth and continue the 'prank'.

[You think to yourself that your assessment of her was indeed correct—no, not only correct, but actually too low—what kind of girl is so naive as to practically 'deliver herself' to you?]

Will Lu Kang feel shy?

Including this time in The Sims, he has lived three lives: once as an ordinary person, once as a magician, and once as a 'priest' tainted by heresy. Although living a long life does not necessarily mean maturity, with enough experience, Lu Kang can calmly deal with most unexpected situations.

So at this moment, he simply looked calmly at the girl in his arms.

Calmly extend your hand.

His hand instantly reached back and rested on the princess's slender waist.

The princess was instantly stunned.

She finally couldn't hold back anymore...

'Insolence, rudeness'

You heard her stammering.

[Leaving behind these words, Anastasia broke free from your embrace in an instant and fled.]

Just like when she discovered your identity the first time you met and ran away, even at the end, she didn't show fear, but rather shyness.

You can still feel the girl's scent lingering in the air; you watch her slender figure flee in panic.

You recall the wonderful feeling of that embrace, and your mood improves considerably.

[You understand perfectly well that, having spent so much time together, Her Highness the Princess has long harbored feelings for you. Your emotional intelligence is quite high; you can sense this.]

Aren't you the same?

But watching the girl's hurried figure disappear into the bushes at the end of the courtyard square, you didn't turn back into the library. You remained standing outside, feeling the gentle breeze, because you knew...

She will come back.

as predicted.

Only ten minutes.

At the edge of Lu Kang's line of sight, outside the library, amidst the grass and trees at the edge of the courtyard square, that silver-white head and a delicate, lovely face emerged again.

Anastasia watched from afar, seemingly having calmed down a bit and quelled her shyness and agitation. However, when she met Lu Kang's smiling gaze from a distance, she couldn't help but blush again.

Was discovered.

she said to herself.

However, I felt inexplicably happy, happy that Lu Kang had not returned to the library, happy that he seemed to still be waiting for me.

In this case...

The girl lifted her skirt and walked over.

"Look... I'll forgive your rudeness just now, since you were waiting for me here!" Anastasia came up to Lu Kang again and said in a pretentious manner, but for some reason, even though she was a princess, her words sounded more like the affected manner of an ordinary little girl.

Lu Kang couldn't help but laugh at her posture.

So Lu Kang actually laughed.

He was laughing quite happily.

Anastasia went from being bewildered at first to feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and then, for some reason, she started laughing along with them.

Look at each other and smile.

They laughed happily and easily.

The princess thought to herself that His Majesty Lu Kang was always so magical, magically able to put people's anxieties aside, magically able to make people feel joy and peace in their hearts.

She's not 'angry' anymore.

But the words he just spoke seemed to have been brewing in his heart and had become his true feelings.

She genuinely wanted him to take responsibility—to be 'responsible' for offending the noble princess!

...

In September 1913, I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to visit the Kremlin.

The royal court life in the late Tsarist Empire presented a rather strange phenomenon: on one hand, the domestic situation was becoming increasingly severe, while on the other hand, there was a harmonious family atmosphere. Before this, I had visited the royal palaces of many countries, but even in the most prosperous countries, there was no such atmosphere.

It felt as if I had entered not a palace symbolizing the highest power of the empire, but a peaceful and content family home.

If Nicholas II was the de facto leader of this family...

Then another person living in the palace at that time, Luca Luvist, was the spiritual pillar of this family.

He seemed to be standing on the clouds, yet also as if he were standing between the soil and the dust.

He was a saint, but also the most ordinary person in the world.

He is a saint among ordinary people.

That's my opinion.

Since then, I have always regarded his existence as my philosophical guide.

So much so that the news that came later was unbelievable to me—how could such a person do so many vicious and brutal things?

Chapter Nineteen: The Tsar's Expedition – Leaving the Library and Entering History

Your life remains peaceful.

Although you've laid the basic foundation for the magic system, there's still much you need to do.

Theoretically speaking, after creating a magic system, a long period of time is needed to allow it to germinate, take root, and develop in the era. Only in this way can the mysteries of this era be gathered into the bloodline and imprint, passed down to future generations, and manifested in 'reality'.

While waiting, you can also 'nurture' it to accelerate the establishment of the magic system.

You have opened the Royal Library, announcing that anyone can come and read, browse, and even borrow books.

All princes, ministers, nobles, and even commoners living near the Kremlin will have the right to education.

Nicholas II had reservations about your decision. He came to discuss it with you and was ultimately persuaded by you—you told him that this was the only way to alleviate the internal conflicts within the Tsarist Empire.

Nicholas II believed it to be true, and you did not deceive him.

The books and knowledge you spread out are the unsprouted seeds of the 'Book of Law,' which will allow your mystical system to sprout and grow faster. The stronger you are, the more likely you are to change your current predicament.

And so every single day, outsiders visited the palace and entered the library.

However, they were mostly nobles, and none of them came for the purpose of collecting books.

They came for you.

But you don't seem to care.

Because you spend every day with Anastasia, reading or writing together.

You enjoy the quiet atmosphere, and when you look up, you can see the girl deep in thought as she looks at the book in her hands—even though it's a romantic novel about a classic love story, she seems to be contemplating a universal philosophical question.

A knowing smile spreads across your face.

[The princess, realizing she had been mocked, quickly pulled out the actual philosophy book beside her.]

[Three minutes later]

She's asleep.

You laughed out loud.

The princess, awakened by your noise, blushed.

On the 523rd day since arriving at the palace, the books in the library have been constantly decreasing and being replenished, but the number of people coming is less than the day before.

[On the 524th day, there were fewer visitors than the previous day]

[For 525 days, the library has been sparsely populated.]

You sensed something was off.

You've heard that Nicholas II is planning to leave the Kremlin and tour the country.

What did you keenly sense?

【really】

On his 544th day at the Kremlin, Nicholas II formally signed the agreement preparing for war.

[It turns out that his previous nationwide tour was a mobilization effort for war. He had been planning this war for a long time, and he was trying to divert internal conflicts by waging a foreign war.]

[July of the same year]
